My Yoga buddy brought me some homemade kimchi. He asked me if I liked kimchi and I said, "YES!" He asked if I bought it at the grocery store and I told him we only ate it at restaurants. He said he would bring me some made by his wife, who is also in the yoga class but doesn't speak English (as far as I can tell). He said their kimchi was made with shrimp. Recipes for kimchi are vast. Family kimchi recipes are passed down from one generation to the next. I am told that a new wife will be taught how to make kimchi by her mother-in-law. It seems most Korean men like their mama's kimchi the best.
This is another type of kimchi that he brought me. They were both delicious! I had a pumpkin bread mix I had brought from home so I made that as a thank you.
